This quick start describes the process to add an enclosure with multiple logical interconnect groups so that the server hardware can access existing data center networks. For the benefits of configuring multiple logical interconnect groups, see About multiple logical interconnect groups in an enclosure group.
To set up an enclosure that is not stacked, configure multiple logical interconnect groups such that each interconnect is in a different logical interconnect group (which subsequently defines the logical interconnects) before adding the enclosure. You can also set up a partially-stacked enclosure where you have more than one interconnect associated to a logical interconnect group.
-
Required privileges: Infrastructure administrator or Server administrator.
-
The interconnects selected in the logical interconnect groups must match the interconnects contained in the enclosure.
-
All data center switch ports that connect to the Virtual Connect (VC) interconnects are configured as described in Data center switch port requirements.

See Prerequisites for bringing a c7000 enclosure into HPE OneView for prerequisites and preparation you must complete before you add an enclosure.

See Prerequisites for bringing server hardware into an appliance for prerequisites and preparation you must complete before you add a server.

For a server blade to connect to a data center network, it must have a server profile assigned to it, and that server profile must include a connection to either the network or a network set that includes the network:
